    The day people would rather have merch than a spot at the show I never thought I would see. Well here it is
    This has been the case for a while. You can go at 2pm and be 2nd row, and also be shut out on merch, crazy.
    I walked in at 6:15 p.m. at shows last year and would end up dead-center, five people back from the rail.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Yeah, I think that's the sweet spot for most shows. If you're in the building that first half hour after doors open, you're pretty good.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I'm driving over tomorrow for the Saturday show.   Which side of the arena did the GA line form?   By the sounds of it, I'm going to be way early for the GA line.  I was planning on an overnight stay.   I've never done a PJ GA line before so I have no idea what I'm doing in terms of arrival time.....lol.
    My buddy has been there all day and since he arrived early this morning, there's maybe only another 40 people behind him. That was as of 230. Line was forming on the west side of Xcel off of Kellogg Blvd. Pretty small compared to the Merch line.
    Thanks for the feedback!

    Any shade for ga or merch lines? Saturday is looking to be a warm one.
    There's a trapdoor in the sun.

    There are some sapling like12 ft. trees on the GA line side every 10 feet or so. They aren't much, but my buddy was next to one at 200pm today and it was providing shade. Not much otherwise. That side of the venue will be scorching hot by midday on Saturday exposed to the sun as it climbs high and westward..

    There was a slight incident not involving PJ fans that occurred while I was there around 200pm where a woman decided to get fully naked and started yelling some incoherent statements directly behind where I was talking with my friend while they were in line. Police and EMS showed up and took her away. A very sad situation that was handled well by police, security staff and EMS. She did not go willingly.

    Embarrassing people actually had their cell phones out for that

    Ridiculous. What's it all about the show or stuff!
    It's the calculus of showing up 5 hours earlier to be 50 ft closer not being worth it

    Yeah, those people need help. Not sure why anyone would record another person's mental health breakdown. That's the kind of stuff that makes me mad.

    Yeah, what time do doors open for GA? I’m heading to Chicago and curious about door time as well.
